A Gloucestershire company has been sent ‘crashing back down to earth’ as their 32ft campervan was stolen just hours after appearing on national television.

Gwynne Speed is a rally driving school that offers a range of activities from experiences of driving a rally car, to one to one lessons for competitive drivers.

The company, based in Cirencester, appeared on ITV’s This Morning on Monday as part of a new feature called Anton’s Angels, hosted by Strictly Come Dancing Star Anton Du Beke. The feature saw them help a full-time carer, called Debbie, realise her dream of driving a rally car.

The programme was aired on Monday morning but that evening the company was rocked after their massive campervan was stolen from their Cirencester base.

Holly Robinson, 34, joint-owner of Gwynne Speed, said: “Debbie had a dream to skid a rally car around a muddy field. That is our bread and butter really, making these things happen for people and give members of the public these experiences.

“We were all buzzing after being on This Morning and then got brought crashing back down to earth.

“It seems to be the case where if people want things they just take them nowadays and don’t care about the hard work people have put in.”

The company uses the campervan as a base when they are on the road for events, and will need to replace it if it can’t be recovered by the Spring.

It is believed that the thieves cut the locks on the garage door with a disk cutter before towing away the campervan. The police have been informed of the theft, and anyone with any information should report it to Gloucestershire Constabulary.
